Hi Mike,
It's always nice to work you on the air.
I'm a VEC and over the last year have participated in several tests
which resulted in over 100 new hams (not bad for a county of only
18,000). Most were over 50, some 30-40's and a handful are juveniles
(under 18). At the last test, a woman

The DXCC rule that a ham can operate from multiple locations anywhere in
the lower 48 (for example, San Diego, Seattle, Maine, and Florida) and

I think you need to look at the average age of today's ham (hopefully, it
is going down).
Ham radio is what you make it. Your version is just fine for you. How
you actually get on the air is not a law. It isn't a requirement. All you
have to do is work within the legal requirements for

I mostly agree with this. However, how would that compare to me packing

Let me remind all of you in an HOA that you don't need to put up antennas.
